Mike Hoff @mikehoff11.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Honestly, if I could never hear the word “deal” again, that would be great. We used to have other words, like treaty or agreement or compact or accord. Now thanks to Trump it’s just “deals”, “the best deal” “nuclear deal” “trade deal” “I love making deals” Just. Stop. 000
